Mr.. Bert Long, of this place. who
has been in Ohio for some time, has
been forced to return on account of a
serious affection of the throat and
chest, aggravated by the dampness
along the Ohio. Florida or California
would be more advantageous to
health, but like ourselves, it doesn't
suit everybody to go so far.

advantage of other peoples booming

Business men everywhere are COM
ing to Il practical understanding, by
bitter experience, of the fact that it is
impossible to pay a rem of from three
to five hundred dollars, expenses and
living, and make any money. Trade
is not as it used to be; prices are low
er, profits shorter, and competition
greater. People buy more sparingly.
They bargain more closely, and divide
their patronage more widely, accord
ing to the inducements offered on
every hand. Business has not only
to contend now with competition, but
also with opposition. which cuts down
prices and breaks up trade. Collec.
tions now are too tedious, slow and
risky the credit system being entire
ly out of agreement with low profits
and high rents and expenses.
Coming home to the business of
Martinsburg, w%erepeat the suggestion
which other towns are adopting, of
forming a Board of Trade, including
all business men, by means of which
many unfavorable conditions could be
remedied by mutual understanding.
